System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"But father should have thought things through. Today, I wanted to borrow some money from Uncle Guan Zilian to buy you a pot of Du Kang, but he refused and ran away with the money bag."

Cao Pi snorted and said unhappily.

The reason why he was so sarcastic was because he realized that his father and those uncles were unreliable.

When my father was in power in the past, those uncles were almost as close to him as his own father.

Now, everyone hides when they see him, and it is impossible to lend him money.

"When did this happen?"

"When did you go to see Zilian?"

Cao Cao frowned, feeling that there was something fishy going on.

"Just now."

"When I came back from getting some wine, I saw Uncle Zilian staring blankly at our front door."

"Oh, and he's wearing official robes."

"I wanted to borrow some money, but when he heard it, he covered the money hidden in his chest and ran away. If you didn't know, you would think he was hiding a few gold cakes in his chest."

"He also said that he had something important to do outside the city."

"Aren't all of us in the Cao family under house arrest?"

"He ran out of the city... out of the city?"

Cao Pi sat aside, angrily complaining about his stingy uncle.

But when he reached the outside of the city, he suddenly realized something.

Cao Pi is not stupid at all, in fact he is very smart.

Otherwise, he would not have become the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

It's just that he likes to hide his shortcomings, making people think that he is not very smart.

crunch--

There was a creaking sound from Cao Cao's hand holding the wine jug.

Obviously, if Cao Pi could perceive it, he naturally couldn't fail to guess it.

"Haha, hahaha!"

"Okay, that's fine too."

After a long time, Cao Cao laughed out loud, as if he had let go of something.

"You're still laughing! Cao Zilian is trying to distance himself from us and now he doesn't even dare to enter the door."

"Okay, what a good uncle."

Cao Pi was young and naturally could not stand it, so he spoke angrily.

"Pi'er."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi with a strange look in his eyes.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Cao Pi asked in confusion.

"Check your homework for your father."

Cao Cao's face was very dark, and he carried Cao Pi and walked towards the backyard.

Soon, Cao Pi's screams were heard from the backyard.

...

Military camp outside the city

"I never thought that one day, I, Cao Hong, would be able to enter this door again."

Cao Hong came here with a complicated expression, looking at the gate of the military camp but didn't dare to go in.

Cao Hong was filled with emotion and had a lot on his mind.

"Are you coming in or not?"

"If you don't come in, I'll close the door!"

The soldier guarding the gate looked at Cao Hong and said unhappily.

This idiot has been standing at the door for a long time.

If he hadn't been warned by his superiors, he would have shot the man with an arrow long ago.

"Come in, come in, come in."

Cao Hong smiled and hurried in.

"General Zhang Xiu is in the East Camp. The three of you take him there and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him cause any trouble. We can't afford it."

The young Sima at the door said to his soldiers.

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately took Cao Hong to Dongying.

Zhang Xiu has been really annoyed these past two days.

Dozens of generals including Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan and others have already left.

He naturally knew the purpose of traveling to different places with his own troops.

Although Cao Cao has been defeated now, the prefects, county magistrates and some small separatist forces in various places still need to be plowed.

These are all military merits. As long as you go, the battles generally won't be too difficult.

Use force to intimidate, hard bones can be broken directly, and soft bones don’t even need a knife.

But he could only stay in the camp.

"If it doesn't work, just kill them all and save yourself the trouble."

Zhang Xiu drank a sip of wine depressedly and complained.

"You can't kill him. You can't kill him."

"They are all rare elite soldiers, tens of thousands of them, and they have taken years of hard work. How can we kill them so easily?"

Jia Xu quickly said something to comfort him.

"Give some face to each of you."

"They all want to go back to their hometown to farm, but there's not enough land for them to farm."

“Even if there were land, they wouldn’t be used.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu still couldn't help cursing.

"General, please don't say this in front of others."

"It would be fine if we could talk in private."

Jia Xu was slightly startled and quickly reminded him.

If Zhang Xiu was not from Xiliang, he would not have bothered to remind him.

But the other party is from Xiliang, and he himself is from Xiliang, so naturally he has to give more reminders.

The current situation is special. As Dong Yu's territory grows larger and larger, the internal structure will become more and more complex.

If it is not conducive to harmony, we should be cautious.

"I'm not afraid of anything."

"Once our army passes by, who would dare to say no?"

"If you ask me, the Lord is giving them too much face."

Zhang Xiu said with a look of pride.

"Force can conquer the world, but it cannot conquer the hearts of the people."

"Ultimately, ruling the world cannot be done by one person or one family."

"If you don't understand, just say less. It's not you who's worried anyway."

Jia Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Why not me?"

"If it weren't for these people holding me back, I would have made great achievements long ago."

Zhang Xiu stood up with a bang and said angrily.

"Report!"

"General Zhang, Cao Hong is here."

Just as the two were discussing, the shouts of soldiers were heard outside the tent.
